Upper lip laser hair removal in Seomyeon, Busan: small area, several visits

Where upper lip laser sits on the price board

On the Barog board the upper lip, known clinically as the philtrum area, shares a row with the underarms. Women pay from ₩15,000 for one lip session, and the five- and ten-session columns on that row bring the per-visit figure down considerably.

Men have a separate upper lip line with higher figures, and men who also want the chin and upper neck done usually compare it with the beard row. VAT of ten percent is added to every figure.

How many upper lip laser sessions to plan for

Hair on the face cycles faster than hair on the body, so facial treatment is normally repeated five or more times with three to four weeks between visits. Each pass affects the follicles that happen to be growing at that moment.

When lip hair is dark and the surrounding skin is fair, the contrast helps, and the moustache shadow often fades noticeably across the series. Very fine, pale hair holds little pigment, so the team may tell you at the consultation that fewer follicles are likely to respond.

What a lip appointment with the Apogee laser feels like

Lip sessions at Barog run on the Apogee, whose 755 nm alexandrite beam is delivered from a handpiece held just off the skin, with settings chosen to keep the sting low. The lip is one of the more sensitive spots on the face, so numbing cream can be applied first if you ask.

Most people describe a quick flick of heat along the lip line. The laser itself is over in a few minutes, and the full visit, including cleansing and any numbing time, runs longer.

Looking after your upper lip once the session ends

Expect some pinkness and small raised bumps around each follicle for a few hours, occasionally until the next day. Treated hairs can take a week or two to shed, which is easy to mistake for regrowth.

Keep the area out of strong sun between visits, skip waxing and threading during the course, and shave if you need a clean look. Tell the team if you notice lasting dark or light patches, folliculitis or a blister.

Who should wait on upper lip laser

Treatment is postponed after a recent tan, while taking drugs that increase light sensitivity, or when there is an active skin infection on the lip. Pregnancy usually means waiting too, and a dark mole within the lip area is assessed individually.
